Is ford really that cheap?

What's stupid is the dipstick location, without an extension on that. At 6' 4", I can barely reach the damn thing. Once I level the truck, and add 35s, I will need a freaking step ladder.
Why not extend the handle?

There bitching because the price of trucks didn't stay the same, they went up. There for you are paying more and getting less. More about making there profits bigger then keeping the cost of trucks down. I mean really, who thought they would be paying 50K for a half ton truck?

The miniscule amount of residual oil in that funnel would do more damage to the storage compartment than if you rinsed it out with a gallon of gas poured into the tank. You could probably dump a cup of oil into the tank along with 26 gallons of gas and not do any damage. One cup of oil in 26 gallons of gas is a 416:1 ratio; assuming 16.004715 cups in a gallon.

I have to use a stepladder to do anything beyond a glance on my truck. I also remove my belt and wear a long button up flannel shirt so that I don't scratch the paint on the fender. I really need to buy one of those fender protector mat thingys.
